I can't help you as of right now, but if I find something I'll let you know. Maybe you could PM or ask someone who has made one of these cakes, I am sure they will be able to help you out.

Here is a bump, I hope someone can help you out. You may have to do another post under the "How do I" forum.

Have you completed a search for spiderman cakes on the site? There are some great ones here. If you aren't that experienced, I'd make buildings out of fondant (simple squares and rectangles), turn them into a city - or even do one long city silhouette to wrap around the sides of the cake. I loved the pic here where they made web out of spaghetti noodles and then draped buttercream? between the noodles. Good luck!

I just did one Saturday and didn't run into any major problems. The only issue I had was the stringing. My buttercream started off just fine, but the longer my hands warmed it the harder it was to work with.

ok well im goin to try all the helpful tips that i got and see how it goes its getting made tomorrow night i hope that its still good on sat at 5 if i start it friday at like 5-6 ...... what do you all think?

you might want to try to repost your question in the cake decorating forum or in the how do I forum a lot of times you will get more responses in there on how to questions.
